SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS

Carburetor

The carburetor of your generator is pre-set at the fac- tory. The carburetor should not be tampered with. If your generator is used at an altitude in excess of 4000 feet performance may be affected. If so consult with your nearest Craftsman Service Center regarding high altitude set changes.

Governor

Your engine governor maintains the constant operating speed of your generator. DO NOT tamper with the en- gine governor which is factory set for proper engine speed.

Over-speeding your engine above factory high speed set- ting can be dangerous and could possibly cause per- sonal injury or property damage. If you believe the en- gine is running too fast or slow, take your generator to a Authorized Craftsman Service Center for repair and ad- justment.

Low engine speeds impose a heavy load on the engine and when sufficient power is not available the engine

life could be shortened.

STORAGE

If you are going to store your generator for more than 30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the generator for storage.

Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or

in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

Engine Preparation

•Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

•Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to enter the fuel system.

•Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug.

•Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug hole.

•Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.

Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the spark plug wire.

NOTE: If a fuel stabilizer is not used, all gasoline must be drained from the tank and carburetor to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing pos- sible malfunction of the engine.

Generator

•Clean the generator as outlined in the Generator Maintenance paragraph on page 18.

•Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator are open and unobstructed.

Battery

•Store battery as described by the battery manu- facturer.

NOTE: After storing battery for a long period of time it may lose it's charge. If the battery loses it's charge, manually start the engine with the battery connected. The engine will recharge the battery as it runs.
